| Summary: | Indigenous traditional knowledge is subject to undue appropriation by corporations and research centers in the Global North. This article emphasizes that applying the concept of common good to this knowledge leads to a profound transformation of the logic underlying the international legal framework that governs the use of such knowledge and calls for a reinterpretation of the rights of Indigenous peoples. Indigenous rights should not be conceived merely as instruments enabling negotiation over access and benefits; they must be regarded as rights that categorically prohibit enclosure and privatization. |
